I am having the clearance issue here in the US, so it is not localized to the UK market. Perhaps we are all part of a bad batch?

I believe it is revised rubber mounts only, not the metal hanger itself.

Yes it is just the rubber itself which is now a diamond shape, haven't got any pictures prior to install. Suggest your dealer/supplier speaks to Akra and point them in the direction of what they sent Parr. Parr also seemed to think that the official UK importer Titanium Performance is losing/giving up their franchise...

Yes all good no banging noises and no more signs that it is rubbing. Waiting for new carbon tips to come, when they are on that will be the acid test!

Guys, any pics of these new rubber hangars? I never received any rubber hangars with my set up - I just used to stock ones!
Just installed my N55 midpipes + Akra Slip-ons with Wireless kit + CF tips on Sunday. Love the sound, perfect set up with the valve! However, I do hear some banging in the back when I go over small bumps. I hate noises in my car!!! I just want to hear my exhaust, nothing else! Last edited by Sheil; 07-17-2012 at 08:13 AM.. |

I believe someone mentioned that the 'new' diamond-shaped hangers are actually a BMW part, so don't think it is anything Akra specifically developed, but will know for sure once I see them.

Pics of stock vs. 'revised' exhaust hanger rubber mounts
Finally got the new exhaust rubber hangers installed today, which had been sent to me by Akra. Took some pictures of the stock hangers that came with the car (and caused the rubbing against the sidewall of the diffuser), and the revised ones. Keep in mind both are BMW original parts, not quite sure which application these come from, but in Akra's testing they seem confident these should resolve the issue.
In the 80 mile trip back from the shop, so far so good, my exhaust tips are well aligned related to the side of the diffuser openings. My only small complaint is that now the exhaust sits higher, almost too close to comfort to the top of the diffuser, but it is quite possible the rubber mounts will 'settle' under the weight of the exhaust and there will be more clearance. While both are diamond shape, notice the differences: first pic are the new ones, second are the stock that came with the car.
